I ordered an F-150 on 3/10/21. 6 build dates later, still not built. So don't hold your breath.

What did you order?? Trim/packages/accessories

Hopefully with no shut downs anticipated in august things will finally start to get back on track

Order was placed as retail, priority code 19

This is nice to see not to many f150s to b built but I'm starting to think this could b a class action lawsuit for those of us who ordered trucks n had vin numbers before the broncos, raptors, and mavericks were even introduced to the 2021 line ford should have to complete previous orders before introducing new vehicles n building those new vehicles

Except, the only parties that get anything besides frustration out of class action suits are the lawyers?

YoU can't compare one build to the other unfortunately.

Even lariat to lariat can vary based upon what options are chosen. 501a vs 502a, 360 camera, adaptive cruise, sunroof. The more options you choose the more wait you can anticipate. You also should be aware that a chip for one part may not be able to work for another part.

It's quite the ordeal that I hope I don't have to concern myself with again. At least not to this extent in the future.

SUPER cool of you to start this thread with shareable information from the source. Still some folks falling through cracks, but overall it seems things are getting cleared up and that most, but not all, buyers can guess plus or minus a week, when their truck will arrive.

Watching for my 8/15 build date, hoping mid-September arrival. Lariat, SCREW, 502, 157WB, Iconic Silver

Thank again!

ORDER BANK STATUS:

Through a recent Ford update, we've received some good news in regards to Ford's retail ordering on F-150s.

As of 6/28/21 ther are 6,113 Retail orders in the system for the new F-150.

For comparison:
113,553 Broncos
18,416 Super Duty
6,113 F-150
5,919 Mustang Mach E
4,407 Explorer
38,798 Subtotal (Non-Broncos)
152,351 Total

I thought the backlog of retail orders would be much higher. So that is good news that the Retail orders are prioritized over stock. The biggest hold up we've seen is that the average retail order is coming in on the higher trim level (lariat or higher) versus the XL, XLT trucks that require less microchips for production.



PRODUCTION UPDATE:

Just wanted to drop a quick update for those of you who have ordered or are considering ordering a new F-150.

Raptor Update - There is NO Raptor allocation for this month's wholesale. That means no dealers will get more Raptor production unless they have received it already. The final month of 2021 Raptor allocation (there were only 2) will be next month and that will be model year build-out for 2021 (i.e. Last call for 2021).

Delivery Timing - For the F-150 your Delivery time goes as follows
In-transit - Expect it in August
In-System - August/September Delivery
Balance to schedule (doesn't have a VIN yet but in the system) - September/October
If you place a order today, expect to receive the truck in October at the earliest maybe November.

Plant Downtime - Both the Kansas City and Dearborn plants had scheduled down time in July. As of now, we are expecting both plants to be up all of August. At least they have not communicated to us dealers that they will be down.

Balance to schedule Sept/Oct.. is that when they will get scheduled for build or that’s the estimate for delivery?

For delivery

Good information here, I ordered my F150 Lariat on Feb 18 with few options, no VIN # yet. Hopefully it should go to production this month or Sept according to the dealer. I stopped by the dealer last week to see what was the status of it.

You can’t have a lawsuit if Ford didn’t take any money. The dealership may have taken a deposit from you but that doesn’t go to Ford. Besides that, I never saw anything in writing about delivery dates when I ordered my truck so there is nothing to sue them for.

Pain and suffering?

Look at you being all reasonable and stuff!

If it goes into production this month or September you should have a VIN at this point.
